Storing bread without plastic.

How to store bread without plastic: wrap it in a cloth and put it in a tin can. Or, if you eat it as fast as we do in our household, just place it in a plate with a cloth over it- or stick it in the oven of course, as long as you don't forget that it is there. If you bought it, you can always keep it in the paper bag in which it came. We have been storing our bread in paper bags lately, and it keeps very well. The tin can seems to retain too much moisture, and the bread mildews quicker than when we keep it in paper. But then again, we live in a pretty humid area. If you buy it sliced it will dry up faster.
